    New to Reloading 300 BLK Advice

    Gonna start reloading 300 BLK subs. Any advice? Mainly wondering what the best projectiles are for plinking and maybe shooting a deer? What is the best way to go about getting brass? I probably want around 500 pieces. Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    The march was the best option I could come across roughly nine years ago. Funny that nothing much has changed.

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    I never thought about how the angle actually works until now. Initially when I read your post, I thought you were saying that the field of view observed inside the scope was always the same at different magnifications. Misunderstood you, thanks. I think the March scopes have the best...

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    I don't need a wider field of view than what I already have - just saying that I don't want a 6-30 power scope that you can't see anything in the timber with it. I'm confused - how does the FOV stay constant at 25 deg for the 4.5-28?? That seems impossible.

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    It's always nice to have the high magnification for other things. Target ID (counting points), setting zeros, etc. I've identified many elk herds several miles away with my 24 power march - not carrying around a spotter. I've also seen changing scopes drastically change the tune of the rifle...

    I wish they would come out with some better reticles for the NX8. They kind of suck for low power tasks.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Where is the best place to purchase a SRS? Anyways to get a deal on a new one? What is a good price? Military discount? What caliber are you all using as a trainer setup? Was thinking that a 223 might be good. Thanks!

    Does it have any of the same downfalls of the March 3-24x52? (Finicky parallax and some optical distortion)

    CFE 223 for 77 Grain Pills

    I read through a bunch of stuff online already and see some mixed reviews. I found 8 lb of CFE 223 locally and I'm thinking about buying it to load up a bunch of 77 grain 556 rounds. Is this powder a good fit, or should I spend $325 on something else? What's a good price on it? Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    I've been out of the scope game for awhile. I currently own a nx8 4-32 ffp and a March 3-24x52 ffp. The March was a very unique scope in weight and magnification range years ago when i purchased it. It's not the best at everything, but very versatile and I've taken multiple elk with it...

    Does anyone make a lightweight bullpup that would be good for hunting?

    Just started looking at the SRS a little while ago and find it very intriguing. Part of me would like it for Montana elk hunting, but it's a bit hefty. Any way to lighten them up? What do you guys use these rifles for mostly? (Trying to learn where they shine) How do you carry them around...
